Redevelopment Closer Than Ever?

[XVK]

Didn't the FSA offer to mediate between the owners and trust board at one point?

So the trust put out another unhinged rant statement embarrassing themselves. (look it up if you want - not worth it, reads like something an angry toddler would put together) and are now crying on twitter that it was read out too quickly.

And meanwhile in the real world where the rest of us live https://x.com/LowerTiers/status/1857101662923428178

Funny how the trust shares other things from Fair Game, but nothing about this

You had a new raft of board members and the club refused to meet so no shift of attitude at all

Its obviously that time of year where someone starts these conversations.

what is the point in having another group of YES men?

or is it you are only allowed in if you keep your mouth shut and don't rock the boat, oh and don't ask the owners for 2p cos you aint getting a penny

You certainly shouldn't keep your mouth shut. But you should make sure that what comes out of it is accurate and honest. That's been a significant issue for you in the past.

And you should resign, because you and your colleagues, got into bed with a direct competitor to the club, with absolutely no endorsement from the members of OUR Trust.

My last expectation would be a group of yes "people". It would be a new committee, erudite enough to harness a productive and professional relationship with the club. With none of the historical baggage that you have with KT, DB and of course previous owners.

Hang on Nigel, can I get this straight, you are calling out the Trust for "Having baggage" with the Cardoza's ?

I think the clue is in the use of “you”

That there is the odd dullard from every club who thinks their club is run terribly?

It's not looking good.

Just listened to The Cobblers Show and the Trust Board statement along with some of the reaction on social media.

To be blunt it was disgusting conduct from the BBC. Kelvin Thomas was hijacked with multiple questions, he had no time to prepare his responses and was expected to give detailed considered replies to a live audience with no advanced warning. Meanwhile the Trust were given a week to draft a detailed statement with all the courtesy of being allowed to research and consider their responses extended. The BBC then subsequently allow the broadcast of a 700 word extensively prepared statement in essence protecting the author from any interrogation over any comments and/or accusations. A more appalling example of unbalanced and biased journalism you will not find anywhere. The disparity with how the 2 individuals were treated was an absolute disgrace.

See how easy it is to twist reality to your advantage when it suits. Read it too quickly my arse.

[Observing]

Read it too quickly is actually the PERFECT response from them.

Just shows that they’re absolute clowns.

They’ve played themselves, again.

NTFC must be laughing into their £6m of Chinese Takeaway.

Look out, they’re sending in the reinforcements.

So basically a list of who's spending money on their squads are deemed to be bad..
Where as those operating ont bones of arses are the good guys 😀

If it dug deeper to allow for clubs failing to build up their infrastructure to be able trade to their maximum potentials and listings of clubs whose land has all been lost to speculators,  NTFC would be kicked off that list completely.

What are your thoughts on the letter though? I haven't seen anyone address it yet.
Fair and balanced for me.

Honestly, a bit difficult to comment on. For me it was full of broad statements that raised old questions and didn’t really contain much detail. For example they confirmed they were rival bidders for the land, but gave no information on the commercial plan and intentions other than to say there was one basically. So the old challenges remain around how they would channel funding into the club with the owners at the helm, and protect it or ring fence it from misuse either directly or as a result of any revenue the investments may subsequently raise. Thats before you overcome the significant challenge of funding an organisation when your relationship with those in charge is completely broken. So until they clarify how that would work any claims of being motivated by commercial benefits for the club are questionable. So doubts remain about the viability of that claim or any revenue raising plan in the current circumstances. In any event, if it was a plan carried out with honourable intentions then why do it in secret, or at the very least why not retrospectively expose the full plan and the actions of the Board for the scrutiny of the members to justify their actions? They complained that the owners hadn’t specified exactly what the plan was for the land, but the owners had already said in their interview that they hadn’t made any final decisions on it, so it was all a bit confusing. There was an implied suggestion of constant reasonability on the part of the Board, but in many supporters eyes that’s a direct contradiction to the conduct of some of those involved on social media. I get the argument around acting in a personal capacity, but many aren’t buying into that line of demarcation. So imo that claim seems a bit controversial. So a bit contradictory and confusing for me, however for the sake of balance it was important the Board had the right of reply.

Another point that helps prove things.

The Trust have caused such a divide and hatred of the current Trust board, even when they put out something that’s worth discussing, people just ignore it. That’s the issue why there must be change at the top.

The Trust has a place. It needs a place. Not with the current incumbents though. If they had any sense they’d all step down. Sadly, not a bollock between them though.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

I'd answer exactly the opposite re balls

Easy thing is to stay quiet, I mean EVERY single post or poster that says something either Pro-Trust or asks a question of the club is jumped on by the "pack" on here

Easy thing, no balls required is to hide under some random name like "observing" and again just follow the "pack" without ever actually providing evidence or reason for your stance other than the normal, oh the Trust board are horrible

KT went on an uninterrupted RANT against the Trust for 15 mins, much of it untrue and repeating rival bidders 6 times (we haven't been rival bidders for almost 2 years) and yet we are the babies for daring to reply

Now imagine how many pages it would be if it was the other way round. .. the Trust had 15 mins to tell mistruths etc about KT and the club and he was only allow a very brief reply, read out as quick as possible without further reference.

please please think about that for a second or ten
